Deliberate Church Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 4, 2021

One law professor said that without lying and bragging, half the pickup lines in bars across the country wouldn’t exist. Churches are deliberately places where bragging is non-existent (about ourselves) and where grace is paramount.

Today is Super Bowl Sunday. CBS is hoping for more than 100 million people watch the game today. The Super Bowl represents the best two teams and the best 106 players competing for bragging rights. There is little humility on the field today. They’ll talk about thankfulness and offer moderate words ...read more

"Online Versus In-Person Service”

Contributed by Benjamin Utomo on Oct 12, 2020

After more than six months, our congregation enjoys the convenience of online services, would that create a new habit that will continue even after the pandemic ends? Can on-line replace in-person Sunday service?

In Our Own Sight: Aura, Listen

Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Jul 9, 2021

We have a lost art in our homes and churches, seems few are listening. Communication is more than talking all the time. We have frozen communication lines because few are listening. Swift to hear. Slow to speak.

IN OUR OWN SIGHT: THE PORTAL OF THE EARS… By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com James 1:19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: GUARD THE LOINS OF THE MIND….

Weaving Evangelism Into Discipleship

Contributed by Wayne Lawson on Aug 22, 2022

Our focus this morning will deal much with communication. Specifically, we will examine how to effectively communicate the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I pray we will understand the bottom line of evangelizing is to simply communicate and invite others into our story

The Burning Bush Call Of Moses Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on May 3, 2022

Moses put his neck on the line once. And he felt like a failure. Is he willing to be that vulnerable again? Is he willing to trust God with his life? That is the challenge of Moses. That is the challenge for everyone who follows the call of God.

The call of God is as unique for every individual as is every person. For Gideon it was the fleece and that differs widely from Ezekiel and his lofty falling facedown vision of the throne of God. Isaiah with the burning coal placed on his lips differs from Paul on the Damascus Road and his ...read more

Whose Side Is God On?

Contributed by Walter Braxton on May 30, 2025

In today’s world, lines are being drawn everywhere. Red vs. blue. Conservative vs. liberal. Rich vs. poor. This group vs. that group. Everybody seems to be picking sides—and everybody wants God to be on their side.

In America...It’s become a political reflex… At the end of speeches...Debates... And press conferences… To close with three familiar words… "God bless America."... Whether Republican…Or Democrat…Conservative… Or liberal…They all say it.... Not because they’re always living by God's ...read more

Wanted: Three Rooms, Open Windows

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Nov 14, 2010

We all need a throne room, where we can maintain a measure of control and an upper room, where we can nourish our privacy. We will also have a den, a place of escape or of anxiety. The key to managing them all is the open windows of prayer.

By Faith, Abraham

Contributed by Ben Peak on Jan 3, 2008

I think we can look at Abraham’s story and see three things about his obedience that really spoke to his faith. These are three things upon which I think you and I can also measure our own faith.

In the eleventh chapter of the New Testament book of Hebrews there is one of the most famous lists in history. It is a list of Bible heroes. Big names like Noah and Moses, Samson and David. And there were lesser known figures like Enoch and Rahab, Barak and Jephthah. What was it that held all ...read more

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jan 7, 2023

We live in a world today where all the boundaries have been blurred and are increasingly, becoming blurred. We have no fixed point for marriage, no correct lines for morality, no division of good or bad in gender or behaviour or attitudes. We examine what GOOD is. Do good to all.

True Love Part 3 Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Mar 14, 2011

When it comes to studying about love, it is easy to feel under the pile because no human can measure up to the standard of love in 1 Corinthians 13 - and that's because it is God's standard. Thanks be to God that he makes us able, as we give our lives, ho

Seeing God As He Is Series

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Jan 11, 2012

This is an introduction to the series. How we see affects our relationship with Him and the way we live. Our view of Him is affected by how see Him and how we think He sees us. We must not assume that God is just like us or reduce Him to human terms.

[Adapted from Chip Ingram’s book God: As He Longs for You to See Him.] We are starting a new series called – God: as He Longs for You to See Him. Why is there a need to see God rightly?
